Extractions: http://www.blueflamecafe.com/ Yancey, Jimmy A masterful pianist of the Harlem Renaissance. Born in 1918, Yancey became part of the Chicago boogie-woogie era and excelled in the piano. Yancey came from a musical background and learned how to play the piano from his brother, Alonzo. His father also was an entertainer, so music influenced Yanceys life from the very beginning. When Yancey was a child, his father would tour and Jimmy would join him to tap dance and sing. Yancey travelled all over the world to give family performances and by the time he was 16 years old, he had already travelled around America and Europe and even entertained royalty at Buckingham Palace in London. Even though Jimmy Yancey was extremely talented, he also followed another passion: baseball. He worked as a grounds man in Chicago at Comisky Park, where the Chicago White Sox continue to play today. He worked at Comisky Park for twenty- five years and there are even rumors that Yancey went semi- pro. However, during this time, Jimmy kept music in his life and performed on the house- rent party circuit, an extremely important part of Chicago music. When Jimmy was twenty-one years old, he began to record his boogie- woogie style which he pioneered two decades before. He had been playing the boogie- woogie style for his entire life and twenty years later, the style was a hit. His style is described as "often included stuttering, Latin-inspired bass riffs and restrained tempos"

Professor Longhair jimmy yancey, a Chicago native, was still playing house rent parties Tuts Washington, a formidable blues pianist, also taught Byrd how to play blues. http://www.jazzitude.com/professor_longhair.htm
Extractions: by Marshall Bowden The style of piano that Jelly Roll Morton originally heard in New Orleans was probably ragtime and primitive blues tempered by European influences; remember that Morton was a Creole, part of New Orleans' elite people of color. By the 1920s, African-Americans were becoming more and more prominent in the city's musical landscape, many of them coming from rural areas where they were not exposed to the European cultural elements common to the city. The result was that blues, and the more primitive boogie-woogie piano form were heard much more than they previously had been. Many of the musicians who played this style of music left the city and, like their jazz brethren, headed toward northern industrial cities like St. Louis and Chicago. In 1929 Pine Top Smith, whose composition "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie" is usually acknowledged as the first composition to use the term "Boogie Woogie" in its title, was shot dead in Chicago. Jimmy Yancey, a Chicago native, was still playing house rent parties around the city, but he was barely recorded and earned his living chiefly as a groundskeeper for the Chicago White Sox. In 1936 Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis recorded the boogie-woogie piano records that caught the attention of John Hammond, who brought Ammons and Lewis, along with Pete Johnson to New York for his 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. Soon a full-tilt boogie craze was underway, a craze that was not unlike the 1970s disco craze; it lasted until near the end of World War II.
African American Registry: Meade Lux Lewis, True Boogie Woogie Piano.. He was an AfricanAmerican jazz pianist. Lewis was born in Chicago, He washeavily influenced by such boogie-woogie pioneers as jimmy yancey and Pine http://www.aaregistry.com/african_american_history/1149/Meade_Lux_Lewis_true_Boo
Extractions: The piece ranks with "Yancey Special" and "Pine Top's Boogie-Woogie" as the greatest recorded early examples of boogie-woogie piano. Lewis met Albert Ammons, a fellow piano player, who, like Lewis, drove a taxi for a living. Eventually they shared an apartment together in the same building where Pine Top Smith resided. All three pianists became good friends, often sharing ideas and jamming together. It is not surprising then that Lewis's "Honky Tonk Train Blues" bears a striking resemblance to Smith's "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie." After the death of Smith in 1929 at age twenty-five and the onset of the Depression, interest in boogie-woogie faded, forcing Lewis to seek other forms of employment to supplement his meager income from playing the piano. Despite boogie-woogie's decline, Lewis continued to record in the 1930s, occasionally cutting sides as a session man playing behind singers George Hannah and Bob Robinson. Lewis and Ammons were key figures in the boogie-woogie renaissance of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Contacted by talent scout John Hammond to play his 1938 Spirituals to Swing concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City, Lewis, along with Ammons and fellow pianist Pete Johnson, so excited concertgoers with their bristling boogie-woogie piano passages that the music's second craze began then and there.

Extractions: Jean-Pierre BERTRAND was born August 22, 1955 in Saint Germain en Laye (FRANCE). His parents are music-lovers with a pronounced taste for classical music and opera. Student of the Academy of Music in the class of classical piano from the age of 7 to 14, he won the first award at a music contest in 1968. It was not enough however to make him forget the intense emotion he felt once after listening to a Memphis Slim record in a music store. After studying Chopin, Mozart and Bach, he moved on to learn jazz piano. Truly fascinated by the rhythm and the atmosphere of Boogie Woogie tunes, he began to explore the works of all the piano players for several years including artists like Sammy Price, Lloyd Glenn, Montana Taylor, Jay McShann, Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons, Jimmy Yancey... among many others. In 1977 he met Jean-Paul Amouroux, one of the greatest French Boogie Woogie piano players, who strengthened his convictions. He committed himself to work hard, with method, listening and listening again to the Boogie Woogie masters, to learn by ear the ingredients of their styles and to make them his own. From this time, his single purpose was to play in public. He began with small gigs in piano bars at week ends... He sometimes replaced one missing pianist.
